A terrible shock to all of us to loose our young friend. DAvE was everybodies little brother. We enjoyed his humor so much at the tailgate party's and Matt's backyard party's where DAvE would 'perform'. He was a very special friend to my son Matt all these years and their Daytona July 4th weekends. DAVE we miss you and God hug your Dad , Susie and Steve and nieces and nephews

Dave, I can't believe you're gone. You were such a good friend to me. All the memories, where do I begin, Pocono, Dover, Daytona, crab legs, Nick's, trips at Christmas to the city to see the light show, Eagles' games, Halloween parties, and shore trips. Thanks for all the laughs and good times. You will be greatly missed forever. My condolences go out to your family. Peace, Dave!

You were my brother-in-law for 15 years, and you had a good heart. You always made us laugh and I can't believe you are gone. I'll think of you every year during Philadelphia's Wing Bowl. I remember how much you enjoyed going and celebrating life. You are with God now, and I'm sure he is also an Eagles fan. Condolences to the entire family.

Wow, I dont even know where to start. Dave, Chas, Sully and I spent some of the best years of our young lives together. We were pretty much inseparable. We did everything together from the impromptu trips to Brigantine at midnight on a Friday night to playing hackey sack in front of Chas's house for hours on end. It didn't matter what we were doing as long as we were together making each other laugh. We spent so many nights having parties in Dave's basement. We were all just trying to figure out life. Those are the memories that can never be taken away. Dave and I didn't always see eye to eye and we drifted apart later in life but the Dave I remember always made me laugh. Dave was a very good athlete and I never could beat him at arm wrestling. Deep down Dave was a kind and generous person. I hope he is now at peace. I can still see him driving away in the 68 firebird with the top down. Drive on my friend, let the wind blow back your hair. My condolences to the Gansz family. Dave will be missed.
